Like me, others here will also agree that Tron is one of the best cryptocurrencies if you want to save in transaction fees through CEX exchanges. It is also quite fast and can be
for payments between two wallets.
As you know tronlink wallet (recommended wallet for Tron blockchain) supports the entire Tron ecosystem and through it, you can also swap tokens using justswap. Scammers are now using the justswap features to lure newbies who are using this wallet by doing scam airdrop. They are creating clone tokens of some of the top 50 cryptocurrencies on CMC. These tokens are TRC10 based tokens, which can be created easily and deployed on the Tron blockchain in just a few hours.
How does it work?
Whenever you recieve Tron in your tronlink wallet you will get a notification of a new asset that needs to be added to your wallet.
Upon checking the asset you will see a familiar cryptocurrency for a certain amount has been airdropped to your wallet.
One of them which got airdrop to one of my friend's wallets was AAVE.
On tronscan it looks like this

When I started investigating more about this token I found it was a fake token as the website mentioned does not even open. I wanted to find out more about this scam, so I checked whether it is being traded on justswap and I found that it is being traded with small liquidity and there have been a few transaction too.
On justswap with small liquidity of $3

Let me remind you just like uniswap anyone can add a token on justswap by adding some liquidity. Justswap is a DEX of tron blockchain and it is very similar to uniswap or other famous defi DEX.
As always pay extra diligence when you are trading on these DEX, always do your research before buying any tokens.

I think this happened because this topic was created on this forum. I have been following this issue for more than a month now and nothing had happened before.
